Product Description

AEM 21-493P - AEM Cold Air Intake System VOLKSWAGEN GTI / JETTA 99.5-04 1.8T - Polished. cold air intake system relocates the filter outside of the engine compartment to deliver cool air inlet temperatures. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horsepower and torque. But thats only part of the power equation. Tuning the inlet pipe in length and diameter to match the engine's resonance helps move more air to the cylinders (think of your engine as a big air pump), and this tuning allows us to deliver large power gains. We also monitor fuel trim correction factors and all OBDII sensors during R&D to eliminate leaning the engine out and/or throwing a check engine light.

Every AEM cold air induction system features high standards of construction and we are so confident in their fit and performance that we guarantee them for the life of your vehicle. All AEM cold air systems include a lifetime DRYFLOW synthetic air filter and come with a limited lifetime warranty.

The renowned AEM company, designer and manufacturer of cold air induction systems, was established in 1987 and since then has become prominent in the racing industry with cars tuned by them winning races and more specifically with cars tuned by them winning at the “Battle of the Imports” thus they were featured on the cover of Turbo Magazine and Sport Compact Magazine – you can’t get much better than that for a recommendation. They are responsible for the creation of the first packaged air induction system that was made available to the public in 1994 making it possible for the average individual to improve their car by increasing torque and horsepower and now their product line is in the hundreds. AEM induction systems does not just sit back on their laurels, they are constantly working to improve existing products and develop new products with innovations such as designing cold air induction systems with specific tube lengths and diameters and giving consideration to the improvement in efficiency created by cooler air in combustion . The list of their product innovations speaks to the company’s desire to make a product that is second to none and they work with companies like K&N to help develop improvements like conical air filters and the list of improvements goes on. A company that is always striving to find a better way, with things like dual chamber intake kits, hybrid induction systems and air bypass valves-the the kind of company you can trust when it comes to deciding on a Cold Air Induction system for your car. And the company does not just stop there, they employ stringent testing procedures and quality production techniques to assure you of a product you can trust and they back it up with a warranty that is good for the life of your vehicle unless it has been damaged due to mishandling. Products like the AEM Air Intake System & AEM Induction Systems, their biggest and toughest intake systems, are designed so that they will produce more torque and horsepower and provide exceptional filtration. Despite the fact that the Brute Force is not a true cold air induction system since it does not route the air filter outside of the engine compartment, it still does generate the air charge from the coolest source thus creating a cold air design. They were purposely designed this way because of the vehicle’s use in conditions that need protection from potential damage; such as off road, and keeping it under the hood system and when necessary using a steel heat shield to shroud the air filter from engine heat accomplishes this goal. The Brute Force Air Intake features AEM’s DRYFLOW Air Filter, an oil free performance air filter, and since it is used on an air intake system it does not need to be cleaned for up to 100,000 miles depending on conditions.
